Good for a doorway

I was looking for a way to turn on our Philips hue Lux lights when walking in the front door. The other Philips switch would have meant three different switches for each of the nearby rooms.
With the Tap, I was able to program the big button to turn on all lights and the other three scenes for the entryway and the adjacent room lights. The only problem with this device is I couldn't figure out how to make the scenes turn off. The option is either turn them on or turn them off.
Still, I thought it was a good buy at the reduced price.

No matter where you are, bedroom to backyard, you’ll experience a stronger, faster connection with this tri-band NETGEAR router. Get rid of lag, freezing, and buffering while you game, stream and more on multiple devices.

Over-priced, under-performing

Verified Purchase:Yes
The newer routers are getting a lot of hype lately as the number of bands, antennas, connections, speeds increases. The latest NETGEAR router is another VERY expensive entry to the Nighthawk line.
First, the antennas don't lock into a permanent position now matter how much you tighten the knurled knobs. Any movement or contact with an antenna sends it to a flat position.
Second, there are LEDs on the front AND the top of the unit. It's nearly impossible to see both sets of LEDs at the same time. It's also difficult to determine the purpose of an LED without turning the room lights.
Third, this router is a MONSTER. Make sure that you have room for it if you're replacing a router.
Fourth, and most importantly, at least in our houses, the performance is no better than a less expensive router. Distance isn't as promised with the AC5300 unable to maintain a strong signal to a device 30' away on the same floor. It also has little ability to penetrate floors any better than an Apple AirPort Extreme or a lower-priced Linksys router.
At the price, you're better off buying a few inexpensive routers and creating an extended network.

Another Philips hue multi-color light

For creating a mood with some indirect lighting, the Philips hue Bloom does the job. You have the full range of colors so you can create a complex scene.
The downside to this device is that the power supply attaches to the bottom of the bloom body rather than the base making directing the power cord a bit of an annoyance.
